Bored Morning... until...

There are 4 computers down in the lab today so naturally 4 out of order signs were in order. (Nice pun eh?) I was told to look for the out of order sign that was already saved on the computer. Instead I printed out 4 new ones, but I only used 2 pieces of paper. Aww yea. Goin green. But yea I refused to waste a bunch of time looking for an old sign that consists of 3 words. If it was something intricate that I couldn't easily duplicate - yea, sure, I would put some effort into finding it. But I expended energy on all of 3 words, 10 letters, and 2 pieces of paper. I was trying to think of a witty closing line for this paragraph until a guy behind me coughed up his lung. I'm definitely hitting up the germ-x now. Not trying to get swine flu. I mean, Sonya has already created a will with beneficiaries in case she gets the swine flu. Scary stuff.

I wanted iced coffee today but I wasn't sure how to go about it until I consulted my very resourceful boyfriend... who suggested I go about making my coffee the same way I always do (BLAZING HOT) and then put it in the freezer at work until it gets cold enough. GENIUS!!! I'm going to go check on it now.

So the lid of my coffee cup is frozen shut. Didn't think that one through.

Also, I just realized I had an appointment with a woman today and she never showed up. Oh well. Easy last day of the week... that's right, today is my version of Friday... because the real story today is that tomorrow...

I am leaving for Jazzfest in New Orleans!!

Woo hoo!! I am so freakin excited. We're driving up to DC tonight to stay with Merman since our flight leaves at 6 am. Not looking forward to that - but I can sleep on the plane.

The weather is going to be gorgeous and the festivities will be (as my dad would say) off the hook! We are going to this place called the Rock & Bowl, which is a bowling alley, bar, late night diner, and concert venue in one. It features the music of Tab Benoit and Sonny Landreth the night we are going and I cannot wait! I think I need to be restrained from using too many exclamation marks!!!

The highlight of my trip is of course, the actual festival, which is held at the Fairgrounds, a big ole horse racing track. There is so much to do there, there is no way to pack it all into 4 days, but we will try. There is so much music, food, and drinks, so many craft tents selling their wares, which are usually handmade, and just fun HAPPY people surrounding you. You will NEVER find another place where the people are more willing to share in the fun with you. We have sat down next to random people just because a spot opened on the picnic table and ended up learning their whole life stories. And if you see someone eating something that looks amazing, don't be afraid to ask what it is - not only will they tell you, but half the time they will offer it to you to try!

I am bubbling over with excitement right now. I can't wait for work to end so I can run home and pack! Then I get to see my Mermer, then I get on a plane and fly away... AHHH!! The blog will suffer for the weekend but I will have plenty to write about when I get home on Monday night. Lucky for those of you who will be bored at work on Tuesday. Never fear, I'm here, and I will deliver.

PS. In case you didn't notice, I am totally writing in traditional Mardi Gras colors, purple green and yellow. I am all set to go!!!
